You may know him as a Disney Channel heartthrob from back in the day or as 1/3 of the Jonas Brothers, but Nick Jonas has also been living with Type 1 Diabetes since he learned of his illness at 13 years old. It may be surprising to learn or even remember that this is something Nick is living with, as he’s managed to build a lucrative career as an entertainer despite his diagnosis.
There was a time when Nick almost couldn’t imagine his life and career would continue after learning he was diabetic because he feared the worst. But nearly two decades after he wound up in hospital just days away from ending up in a diabetic coma, Nick Jonas’s life is almost unrecognizable.
He has not only become an inspiration for young musicians and actors but also for others living with diabetes, a role he took because he felt that was what was missing for him as a teen living with the disease.
Now he’s gone on to become a world-renowned, award-winning artist with a family of his own, and he co-founded his non-profit Beyond Type 1 to raise awareness and encourage others living with the same diagnosis.
Here are the inside details of Nick Jonas’s Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis, how he has managed to live a full life after his initial diagnosis that had him worried his career would end, and his advice for his fans and anyone else who may be dealing with a similar diagnosis. Here’s how Nick Jonas is using his platform to raise awareness and show how anyone can live a full life no matter what comes your way.
